ROSE MAGUIRE AND THE BLUEDOOR RETURN TO CERAMIC BLOGLAND

Hi and Happy 2010! Due to a dead camera I have beentragically blog deprived, but guess what I got for my birthday!!! So I've been clicking like crazy and I'm back in 'blog land'.

The end of last year was crazy busy with the usual markets and the St Catherine's fine art show ( A great event and yes I did sell some of my sculptural pieces)

Not to mention my eldest daughters wedding the first weekend of December. Such a beautiful and moving moment in our lives.

January bought my 50th and my lovely sister, who arrived from NZ two days before the heatwave and stayed with us for two weeks. Much experimenting with the movie function on the new camera (what fun)

So as January draws to a close the much neglected Bluedoor Studio is slowly coming back to life.

Last Thursday saw the first Bluedoor Studio event for 2010 with Ali and Ang and myself playing with plaster. The girls were making platter molds while I negotiated a 4 part mold with eventual success. Although it's amazing what you don't get done in a day!

Well thats a very quick update, watch this space for a couple of slideshows very shortly.

About Me

Hi my name is ROSE MAGUIRE I started my journey in clay in the late 90s when I decided to do a year at my local TAFE in Mount Barker, South Australia. Under the guidance of Helen Doubell and Auriel Collins and the supportive eye of Ute and partner Bob. Following that I attended North Adelaide School of Arts( as it was then-Now ACArts) where I completed the Bachelor of Visual Arts and Applied Design around 2004.
In my current practice I continue to make domestic tableware as my main stay bread and butter and have teamed up with my old Art School buddy Ang to sell and promote our work. For the past few years we have been doing the Stirling Market (once a month) and a few special event markets and fairs mostley in the Adelaide hills. We also exhibit more sculptural/conceptual work during the year with a group of friends under the name of The Clay Collective…I live and work from an Orchard property in The Adelaide Hills and continue to play, explore and generally indulge my addiction.
